I appolgize for my lack of lingo, but I do understand were you going with your framework.
Questions though;
how do you deal with query data?
IE: iteration through the returned dataset, creation of dynamic html reporting.
you mentioned that you are going to add the url to your response document to lock what can be displayed. I would assume there would a navigation document with conditional statements set to remove or add components. And for me this would require a query to obtain what elements/modules/ and functions they would have access to.
Which brings up another question, currently I have a navigation system that works thusly;
<a href id="NameOfLink" value="NavigationValue" onClick="Navigate(this.value);">Text</a>
the javascript sets a value to a hidden form textbox with its own value which in turn corrisponds to a fixed navigation value on the proccessng page which sets $_SESSION info with the new document to be displayed.
so; click ; set value to form box; java script document.form.submit() to proccessing page; new values are set for the new page; header("location") redirects back to the main page and displayes new content.
That is the basic navigation.. It also includes some actions that require modifaction to session information, but not content.
Have to remember, I am trying to stay away from getvariables do to security concerns (i know it doenst solve it 100%).
And to be honest the navigation system was the most painfull part to get working right..
